600 Congress
When 600 Congress started its rooftop transformation, the goal wasn’t just to fix a roof — it was to redefine what a downtown terrace could be. Schulte Roofing redesigned the entire 3,700-square-foot space with precision waterproofing, fire-rated materials, and custom architectural elements that fit the building’s new modern aesthetic. Every component, from the tapered insulation to the concealed flashings, was engineered to meet strict city requirements while reflecting the polish you’d expect from a Brenham roofing team, which is trusted for all commercial and residential roofing projects in Brazos Valley.
